How to Convert a Web Page to a Microsoft Word Document

Microsoft Word is a powerful and widely-used word processing application. Many people use it simply for typing letters or other text-based documents on their computers, but Word is also capable of generating HTML for making websites and opening saved Web pages. Once opened in Word the web pages can be saved in one of several different formats, including Word's own .doc container. Converting a Web page to a Microsoft Word document should only take a minute or so.

Copy and paste the relevant parts of the Web page into Microsoft Word. Navigate your Web browser to the website then select, copy and paste the required material into a blank Microsoft Word document. Format the information as required and save the document as a ".doc" Word file. This approach is useful if you only need a certain piece of a website instead of the page's complete content.
